#3. Cody Rhodes' Undisputed Title is portrayed as the biggest prize in WWE
Currently, there are two main world titles on RAW and SmackDown: the World Heavyweight Championship and the Undisputed WWE Title. However, since Roman Reigns' historic Undisputed WWE Universal Title reign, this title has been portrayed as the biggest prize in the Stamford-based promotion, with the World Heavyweight Title taking a secondary place.
Therefore, with Rhodes vs. Sikoa being an Undisputed Title match, it undoubtedly deserves the main event spot. While the match between Damian Priest and Gunther for the World Heavyweight title will surely be a masterclass, it is important to have the biggest prize of the company headline this premium live event.
#2. Solo Sikoa will get his first singles match as main event star
After Roman Reigns took a hiatus following WrestleMania XL, WWE has portrayed Solo Sikoa as another prominent character in the Bloodline saga. This is evident from his new version of The Bloodline, where he now claims himself as The Tribal Chief. Solo's presence as the leader of the faction is further solidified by having a monster figure like Jacob Fatu as his Enforcer.
With the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief heading into an Undisputed Title match at SummerSlam, it seems like the perfect opportunity to give him his first singles match as the main event of a premium live event.
Additionally, since SummerSlam is considered one of WWE's biggest PLEs, this match would give Solo Sikoa a major spotlight if he main events against The American Nightmare.
#1. Roman Reigns is expected to make his anticipated return
One of the most prominent factors why Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa needs to headline SummerSlam 2024 is the expected return of Roman Reigns at this premium live event. For those who might not know, The Head of the Table is anticipated to make his long-awaited return to the Stamford-based promotion at The Biggest Party of The Summer.
Fans are speculating that Reigns could either return during the Cody Rhodes vs. Solo match or confront the new Bloodline leader after the Undisputed Title match. With the high likelihood of Roman's arrival at SummerSlam 2024, Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa must main event the upcoming premium live event so that the former Undisputed Champion's return becomes the real talk of the town post-SummerSlam.
